Preparation
- Prepare Your Workspace: Make sure you have a clean, flat surface and gather all your ingredients. A cookie sheet lined with parchment paper is ideal for cooling the eggs later.
- Make the Butter Cream Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk. Use a hand mixer or spatula to blend until smooth and creamy. This should take about 3-5 minutes.
- Shape the Filling: Take small portions (about 1 tablespoon) of the filling and shape it into egg shapes, approximately 2-3 inches long.
- Chill: Place the shaped eggs onto the lined cookie sheet and refrigerate for about 30 minutes to firm them up.
- Melt the Chocolate Coating: While the eggs are chilling, melt the chocolate coating in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second increments, stirring in between until fully melted and smooth.
- Coat the Eggs: Dip each egg into the melted chocolate, fully coating them, and return the coated eggs back to the lined cookie sheet.
- Let Set: Allow the chocolate to harden by leaving the eggs at room temperature or refrigerating for 15-20 minutes.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve these delightful treats at your next family gathering or enjoy them yourself!
Notes
Top Tips: For a lighter taste, substitute half the butter with coconut oil; ensure butter is softened but not melted. A teaspoon of vegetable oil can be added to seized chocolate for smoothing.
